Is it possible to replace the flash tubes yourself?

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes this can be replaced and we do sell them. Thank you and have a great day.

Yes. After about 6 years some of the tubing had rusted enough to need replacement. Each piece can be purchased online.

Yes. Cutting or changing out the tubes is simple, and replacement tubes of various lengths are easy to find in camping stores or online. The tubes friction-fit on to their fittings so it is important to buy the correct size.

I'm not sure since I've never had to replace mine yet. I would go to YouTube and ask the same question. I'm sure there is a video out there that will show you how.

I don't believe that's possible. You need to use the original replacement for that.

I can't tell you where to get replacement parts. I returned the large flashing board that I purchased.

I do not think they can be replaced. But if there are replacements amazon would have them. Sorry I wasn't more help.

If you are good with electronics then yes you could potentially use another connector for a different flash. I wouldn't advise it though. It is just the CZ2 connector that cannon has used for sometime. The cable is similar to that of a phone handset. It is hardwired to the pack.

Yes you could do that. Just make sure you turn it on and off quickly to avoid any extra power to the flash adjuster.

There really isn't a retail opportunity to flash those. You can see if a local stereo shop can do it,I bought the xk loader to do it for $25.

probably not. as well, they are not as good as I would of liked. they are every bit as bright and the combination of flashes is excellent. however, two of the 3 did not hold up. hold up means they simply stooped working. No flash. to adhere, I suggest using zip strips, drilling two holes and looping the strips through the holes. and wrap around something to hold the flashers to.

You can find an assortment of vintage tubes (that will replace the 6AK5) at www.nostubestore.com/search/label/EF95%2F6AK5%2F5654%2FCV4010%2FM8100%2FWE403A%2F6J1. You can also search eBay. Decent tubes will likely run about $8-12 a piece depending on how many you buy at one time. Really good matched pairs might be $20-40 each (or $40-$80 per pair), again depending on how many you buy. I personally recommend Mullard or Rohre, but just make sure you are getting a 6AK5 replacement.

It wouldn't be advised to try. The plastic around bulb could crack, they are pretty cheap in that aspect. Replacing the light itself is probably a better option.

I can't recall but if you buy a short synch cable (you can buy them here on amazon for about $5 each) then the question is moot. Because you can hang the flash trigger where ever you want or need to so its not in the way. I have several soft boxes and use that solution all the time to get my flash to fit and function properly

Yes you will have a problem. You need the correct model of flash. The connections to the cameras are different

I do not know. Best ask Canon. Most likely, if it's possible, it would be done by Canon or an authorized service center as an owner requested repair/parts replacement.
